I guess I need to see if there is any law about what ages kids can be alone? Not sure on that one...

IMO that is WAY, way too young to leave alone, especially that length of time! how comfortable are you with it? i didn't detect a freaking out tone in your post, so maybe your kids are mature enough to handle it, but for a whole work shift?? i just left my 8yo alone for fifteen minutes, two weeks ago, so i could get a newspaper. it was the first time, and it was a test run. i had my cell on the whole time, and called him like 2-3x just to make sure he was ok

but yeah, i think all the states have laws against that young. you might google to find out.

your food sounds utterly yummifying!!

and just in case anyone wants to peek... here is the may 09 album

Ty for the happys (and yes Brendon, my IL's are the coolest

)

that is amazing, cari, that picture. that must have taken forever. i peeked at your album-- that is one huge tree frog! i thought they only came tiny, like, oh, thumb sized! and my ds had the exact same drum

still no answers for my dilemmas. no health insurance for ds and he's on meds and therapy that are hundreds a month. eek. and still no childcare for when i go to school.

i keep telling myself, the universe provides. i have on my treasure map "affordable health insurance", though i meant for me...i should have clarified...sigh. and i also have "nursing made incredibly easy", though maybe i should have specified school.

Nicole- *vibes* to your MIL and family.

Today was hard. I went back to my old place and got more stuff. I emptied the pictures of us out of my photo album and left the pictures I took of just him or him and his son there at the house. I am still not completely done moving out. Hopefully I will be soon cause I HATE going there.

Despite that part of the day, its been a good day. I am moving forward and trying to move on. I am making plans too, so that's good.

to all.

I'd say definitely too young!

Thank you, I'm in

with it. LOL @ our frog friend.. nope we have quite a few varieties of tree frogs here, some getting QUITE fat

My very favorites are the tiny ones with big red eyes.. they are just adorable, but they tend to live farther north than us

I'm a tiny bit better day by day, which is something at least. Still utterly worn out and don't last long at doing anything... so I'm just not doing much of anything

Hubby will be home shortly and will boot me back to bed for a rest although maybe he'll let me sit on the veranda and have a coffee with him. He's being such a champion about this whole thing... he's not getting to bed till 10pm at the earliest, and is up by 430am for work. Then he comes home and cleans, and cooks dinner etc.

I'll pop back in later maybe
